I've played Fallout 3. I mildly enjoyed it for a good 10 hours. Then I realised it wasn't getting better and just played for the sole reason of beating it. I played on a 1080p tv. Even with texture mods it didn't look good and it ran like shit.

Bethesda Softworks (The Elder Scrolls V: Skyrim, Fallout 3) hasn’t released any details regarding the next Fallout game as of yet, but there’s a rumor circulating around the Internet that the next game’s setting will be Boston. This rumor apparently originated out of MIT (the Massachusetts Institute of Technology) in Boston, where Bethesda is said to currently be doing research.

MIT and Bethesda actually do have a close connection as MIT is a part of the Fallout Universe, known as “The Institute” within the world of the games. Massachusetts is also a part of the Fallout Universe, called “The Commonwealth”.

All of this is based on word of mouth so fans of the series probably shouldn’t get their hopes up just yet. However, Bethesda has said that another Fallout game is on the way.

A new website registered by Bethesda may possibly make a Fallout-related announcement—or some announcement—coming December 11, users on Reddit report.

Bethesda parent company ZeniMax Media registered the domain “thesurvivor2299.com” yesterday, November 13. The page right now is completely blank, black, but accompanied by beeping that users have since learned is Morse code. When translated, the code spells out “11.12.13.” When inspecting the page’s code, a line reveals that the order represents DD/MM/YYYY “for European and American sites.”

Speculation is that “The Survivor” is the name of the player-character in Fallout 4, since its style is in the same vein as “Vault Dweller,” “Chosen One,” “Lone Wanderer,” and “Courier.” The number, 2299, is believed to be the year Fallout 4 takes place. Fallout 3 took place 2277, while Fallout: New Vegas took place 2281.

Rumors surrounding Fallout 4 have been surfacing for years. Bethesda senior producer Jason Bergman teased the Mojave Wasteland, while roughly a year ago Bethesda scouts were seen checking out the Massachusetts Institute of Technology, pointing to a Boston-set Fallout 4.

Commence the speculation, conspiracy theory, and excitement.

Update: The site has now gone live. On it, there is a countdown clock ticking away to December 11, so at least we can say, for sure, some sort of announcement will go down that day. I still feel pretty confident it’ll be Fallout-related, though that remains unconfirmed.

Our excellent commentators have also pointed out further clues found within the site’s code, such as mp3 radio clips named after Bridgeport, CT and Fall River, MA and links to hidden images pointing at prepareforthefuture.com (which redirects to the official Fallout site.)
